[edit] Explanation and apology in the name of Wikipedia

Ms. Kassin, we, as Wikipedians, owe you an apology, and an explanation.

We have policies about articles about people like this, called Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, and Wikipedia:Autobiography, and they each clearly say that while article subjects shouldn't write their own articles, they can correct unambiguous errors of fact, which is what you were doing. No one should have reverted that. The editor who reverted your edit apparently thought he was actually helping you, and restoring your edit that someone else had deleted. The whole situation is described at Talk:Katja Kassin#Katja Kassin's edits and revert war; please feel free to read it.

Anyway, I'm a Wikipedia:administrator here, and I will try to keep an eye on this article. If you have any issues that you can't resolve by discussing with other editors, please do put a message on my user talk page, and I will respond to it as soon as I next log in. Or, if you like, and if you have set up an email account for yourself, you can send me email by clicking here.

Again, we are sorry, and we will try not to let it happen again. --AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 07:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
